A guide for this piece: about $82, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A tailored waistcoat in pigment-dyed striped cotton from Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme, printed across the front with three words that sum up a whole philosophy: Noir Comme Yohji.
The Piece
Yohji Yamamoto has long described black as modest and arrogant at once, and this waistcoat turns that conviction into a slogan. The words Noir, Comme and Yohji are printed in white across the front, scattered rather than aligned, so the tailoring seems to be speaking back to the person who wears it.
Beneath the joke lies serious construction. Pigment dyeing gives the black-and-grey stripe a softened, slightly weathered depth, the back is cut in cupro for drape, and a pale striped cotton lining shows at the neckline. Five buttons, two welt pockets and a half-belt at the back complete a classic shape. Worn alone over a white shirt or beneath an open jacket, it brings Tokyo tailoring and graphic wit together.

Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
